A multi-vehicle collision occurred early today on the westbound lanes of Interstate 10 near Kellogg Drive in San Dimas, CA, resulting in minor injuries and significant traffic disruptions. The incident involved three vehicles: a white SUV, a white Mercedes GLE 350, and a Toyota pickup truck.
Emergency services, including the Los Angeles County Fire Department, responded promptly to the scene after receiving reports of distress from individuals involved in the crash. The initial call indicated that the vehicles were blocking the right-hand side and partially obstructing the slow lane, creating hazardous conditions for other drivers.
Upon arrival, emergency responders assessed the situation and found that the white Mercedes sustained minor rear damage, while the Toyota pickup truck suffered major front-end damage. Fortunately, the injuries reported were minor, but the emotional distress was evident from the screams heard during the initial emergency call.
To ensure the safety of all involved and to clear the roadway, tow trucks were requested for both the white SUV and the Toyota pickup truck. The white Mercedes, although likely drivable, was also towed for safety reasons. Multiple tow requests were made as the situation unfolded, demonstrating the urgency of clearing the scene to restore normal traffic flow.
Traffic was significantly impacted as emergency crews worked to manage the situation, and drivers were advised to seek alternate routes while the scene was being cleared. The incident highlights the importance of safe driving practices and the potential consequences of collisions on busy highways.
As the investigation continues, authorities remind motorists to remain vigilant and cautious while driving, especially in high-traffic areas. The California Highway Patrol is expected to provide further updates on the incident as more information becomes available.
